He is currently pursuing degrees in medicine and surgery (mbchb) at Lusaka Apex Medically university. Born in the small mining town of kitwe, Alan, at a very tender age, developed affection toward the field of medicine owed mostly to his hardworking mother, a registered nurse. Growing up in a third world country with limited resources, he has been working hard to start up programs that help educate the community on the dangers of HIV infection (mother to child transmission and prevention to be specific), and rape culture. Ultimately, Alan’s goal is to help curb HIV infection in infants.
